Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the collaborative learning method in enhancing students' motivation to learn English, focusing on seventh-grade students at SMPN 7 SATAP MAIWA. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study explores how collaborative learning techniques influence students’ motivation and evaluates their role in improving the English learning process. The findings indicate that the collaborative learning method has a significant positive impact on students’ motivation. Among the 20 students who participated, 16 (80%) reported increased confidence in using English, opportunities to assist each other in overcoming challenges, and improved problem-solving skills when completing assignments. Group interactions further encouraged students to participate actively in learning activities, making the process more engaging and enjoyable. Collaborative learning also fostered stronger peer relationships and provided a supportive environment where students felt more comfortable expressing their opinions and ideas. The study concludes that the collaborative learning method is an effective strategy for boosting students' motivation in learning English. By working together in groups, students not only gain confidence in communication but also develop essential social and cognitive skills. This method encourages students to be more responsible for their learning while promoting mutual support and cooperation. Therefore, collaborative learning can serve as an alternative approach to improving the quality of English instruction, particularly in encouraging student-centered learning and active participation in the classroom.

Abstract

Speaking skills are a fundamental aspect of learning English as a foreign language, essential for academic and professional success. However, many students, especially in non-English-speaking environments, face difficulties in communication due to limited vocabulary, low confidence, and lack of practical speaking opportunities. This study explores the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in enhancing students’ English-speaking abilities at MTs YMPI Rappang. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, and an analysis of students’ speaking performance before and after PBL implementation. The results show that PBL significantly improved students’ speaking skills in terms of fluency, pronunciation, grammar, and confidence. Students became more motivated to speak and actively participated in classroom discussions and group projects. The collaborative nature of PBL fostered peer learning and provided students with authentic speaking experiences, enabling them to practice English in real-world contexts. This study highlights the potential of PBL as an effective method for improving speaking skills and recommends its broader application in language teaching to create more engaging and meaningful learning experiences.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Werewolf game in improving the speaking skills of second-semester English Education students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidenreng Rappang. Speaking is one of the most essential language skills, yet many students face difficulties in fluency, confidence, and vocabulary usage. Traditional teaching methods often fail to actively engage students in meaningful communication. Therefore, implementing game-based learning, such as the Werewolf game, offers an interactive and enjoyable approach to language learning. This research employed a one-group pre-test and post-test pre-experimental design involving seven students. Participants engaged in structured speaking activities before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS, revealing a significant improvement in students' speaking performance. The mean score increased from 54% to 83%, with a p-value of 0.006 (< 0.05), indicating a statistically significant impact. These findings suggest that incorporating the Werewolf game into speaking lessons can effectively enhance students’ participation, motivation, and confidence in expressing their ideas in English. The Werewolf game promotes real-time interaction, critical thinking, and spontaneous speech, which are crucial for developing communicative competence. By encouraging students to articulate their thoughts, respond to others, and negotiate meaning in a dynamic setting, the game fosters a more engaging and less anxiety-inducing environment compared to conventional methods.

Abstract

Desa Timpuseng, Kecamatan Camba, Kabupaten Maros, memiliki potensi besar dalam pengembangan murbei (Morus sp.) sebagai pakan ternak. Pemanfaatan murbei dianggap sebagai solusi inovatif untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pakan ternak berkualitas, khususnya di daerah dengan musim kemarau yang panjang. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk mengoptimalkan potensi tersebut melalui pendekatan holistik, yaitu pemberian materi, penyebaran kuesioner untuk menggali pengetahuan petani tentang budidaya murbei, serta pembagian bibit murbei kepada kelompok tani hutan (KTH) Mekar, Desa Timpuseng. Hasil survei menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar petani (70%) menggunakan metode pribadi dalam menanam murbei, yang menunjukkan inisiatif lokal yang kuat meski belum mengacu pada teknik budidaya yang modern. Sebanyak 90% petani memperoleh bibit murbei melalui stek, metode yang murah dan mudah dilakukan, sementara 60% petani menanam murbei di lokasi strategis dekat area pemberian pakan ternak. Data ini mencerminkan kesadaran petani akan pentingnya efisiensi dalam pengelolaan lahan. Keberhasilan program ini juga terlihat dari prediksi tingkat keberhasilan penanaman, di mana 80% bibit murbei yang diberikan diharapkan tumbuh dengan baik. Murbei terbukti menjadi alternatif pakan yang ekonomis, kaya nutrisi, dan berkelanjutan. Selain itu, program ini diharapkan mampu meningkatkan produktivitas ternak secara signifikan, mendukung kesejahteraan petani, dan menjadi model pengelolaan pakan berbasis lokal yang dapat direplikasi di daerah lain.
